ABSTRACT

Farmworkers are one of the most vulnerable populations in the United States. At the same time, they are the backbone of our economy and our country. During COVID and natural disasters, farmworkers continued in the field, supporting the country, while their families suffered compounded disparities. Understanding best practices to provide direct support to this community is necessary to support their well-being. Ayudando Latinos A Sonar is a California nonprofit that has been on the front lines of working with Latino families in a rural Northern California community. Through their story, we understand the impact of going out into the fields to bring cariño (care), advocacy and support to farmworkers and their families during crisis.
